PISA definition of Global Competence

Global competence is the capacity to analyse global and intercultural issues critically and from multiple perspectives, to understand how differences affect perceptions, judgments, and ideas of self and others, and to engage in open, appropriate and effective interactions with others from different backgrounds on the basis of a shared respect for human dignity.

Some questions PISA seeks to answer

• How well are students prepared for life and employment in culturally diverse societies and in a globalised world?
• How much are students exposed to global news and how do they understand and critically analyse intercultural and global issues?
• What approaches to multicultural, intercultural and global education are used at school?
• What approaches are used to educate culturally diverse students and how are schools leveraging this diversity to develop students’ global competence?
• What approaches are used to stimulate peer-to-peer learning between students from different cultures?
• How well are schools contesting cultural and gender biases and stereotypes, including their own?
